The Girl Who Was on Fire Edited by Leah Wilson
Release Date: April 5, 2011
From Goodreads.com
Praised by writers from Stephen King to Stephenie Meyer, Suzanne Collins’ New York Times bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is dark, captivating, and deeply thought-provoking. Part straight-up survivalist adventure, part rich allegory, and part political thriller, the series has become a new YA favorite.
The Girl Who Was On Fire offers even more to think about for teen readers already engrossed by the Hunger Games. From the trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to reality television, fashion, and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the Hunger Games by other YA writers reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, protagonist Katniss’ world really is.
The Girl Who Was On Fire covers all three books in the Hunger Games trilogy.
I am a huge fan of the Hunger Games trilogy so when I saw this I knew I wanted to read it immediately. Except now I have to wait! Drat. I've never read a book of essays so this should be pretty interesting.
You're the second one I visited who featured this book. I'm a big fan of Hunger Games series too. I can't wait to read this!
